Comptia Project + Project Management

Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. The process of finalizing all activities across all of the project management process groups to formally complete the project or phase

6. A specific technique for measuring the performance of work and used to establish the performance measurement baseline






7. The area on either side of the centerline - or mean - of data plotted on a control chart that meets the customer's requirements for a product or service.






8. Compares technical accomplishments during project execution to the project management plan's schedule of planned technical achievements.






9. An estimating technique that uses the values of parameters - such as scope - cost - budget - and duration or measures of scale such as size - weight - and complexity from a previous similar activity as the basis of estimating the same parameter or me






10. Communicating and working with stakeholders to meet their needs and address issues as they occur






11. Estimate or prediction of conditions and events in the projects future based on information and knowledge available at the time of the forecast. information is based on the project's past performance and expected future performance

16. Any unique and verifiable product - result - or capability to perform a service that must be produced to complete a process - phase or project.






17. Calendar of working days or shifts that establishes those dates on which schedule activities are worked and nonworking days that determine those dates on which schedule activities are idle






18. Documenting project purchasing decisions - specifying the approach and identifying potential sellers






19. Provider of products - services or results

21. Documents and presentations that provide organized and summarized work performance information - earned value management parameters and calculations - and analyses of project work progress and status






22. System of practices - techniques - procedures and rules used by those who work in a discipline






23. Type of procurement document whereby the buyer requests a potential seller to provide various pieces of information related to a product or service or seller capability






24. Expected cost needed to complete all the remaining work for a schedule activity - work breakdown structure component or project.






25. Modification that allows an acceleration of the successor activity.






26. Assumptions are factors that - for planning purposes - are considered to be true - real - or certain without proof or demonstration






27. A source of variation that is inherent in the system and predictable. on a control chart - it appears as part of the random process variation and is indicated by random pattern of points within the control limits. also referred to as random cause






28. Analytical technique that uses three cost or duration estimates to represent optimistic - most likely and pessimistic scenarios.






29. Analyzing activity sequences - durations - resource requirements and schedule constraints to create the project schedule

31. The earliest point in time on which the uncompleted portions of a schedule activity (or the project) can finish - based on the schedule network logic - the data date and any schedule constraints.
